Crime Scene Kitchen is a thrilling cooking competition show from FOX that aired in 2021. The show revolves around 12 talented baking duos who compete to solve culinary puzzles based on the ingredients and clues left in a staged crime scene. The teams have to decipher the clues and figure out the mystery dessert that the titular "culinary victim" was planning to bake before their untimely demise. Once they have identified the dessert, they have to recreate it within a certain time frame, using only their knowledge and instincts.

The show is hosted by the charming and witty comedian Joel McHale, who keeps the energy high throughout the episodes with his humorous quips and commentary. He is joined by celebrated pastry chef Curtis Stone as the show's head judge, who brings his extensive experience and expertise to the table. Rounding out the show's cast is Natasha Babchak, who serves as the show's "investigator", guiding the contestants through the crime scene and providing them with the necessary clues.

The stakes are high on Crime Scene Kitchen, as the teams face the daunting task of recreating the dessert without a recipe and with limited ingredients. They are judged on several parameters, such as the taste, texture, and appearance of their final product. The judges also keep a close eye on the teams throughout the baking process, critiquing their techniques and decisions. The duo with the weakest dessert is sent home each week, and the last team standing wins a cash prize of $100,000.

The show features a variety of desserts, from classic comfort foods to elaborate show-stoppers. The contestants have to think outside the box and draw upon their knowledge of baking to solve the mysteries and create these delicious desserts from scratch. The challenges are varied and keep the audiences on the edge of their seats, never knowing what to expect next.

One of the unique features of Crime Scene Kitchen is the use of forensic technology to provide clues for the contestants. The crime scene is set up like a real investigation, complete with fingerprint and blood spatter analysis equipment. The contestants have to use the tools at their disposal to help them in their search for the mystery dessert.

Overall, Crime Scene Kitchen is a unique and exciting cooking competition show that combines the thrill of solving a mystery with the art of baking. The show's charismatic hosts and expert judges, coupled with the thrilling challenges and delicious desserts, make it a must-watch for foodies and mystery lovers alike.
